Pros

It's a job that pays money. You get some friendly customers from time to time. Occasionally a training pops up that helps you learn about the department you work in.

Cons

Department hours are constantly being cut so less help to get things done. No wage raises as well I've been here for two years and haven't gotten one yet. Managers play favorites and leave the employees they don't like behind. A lot of politics between co workers as well it feels a lot like high school. They also keep you well below minimum hours so they don't need to pay you any benefits. Also they don't provide proper ppe if you need to clean up glass or spilled chemicals.

Pros

You get to constantly move around the store thru the different departments. Depending on the hours you work you can potentially learn how to do little things within each department, for example the deli or meat counters, which in turn opens an opportunity to get additional hours if needed when AOL doesn't have the business to keep all the shoppers shopping. Hyvee was always very good about giving you the opportunity to help in other areas of the store if your department was lacking hours or business to give you the full 40 for your work week.

Cons

The management/ chain of command often gets a little confusing as you have department managers, assiant managers, general mangers and a director. Often times I felt as if assiant managers sometimes gave different directions then the department manager would give almost condescending what you were told from your direct manager, but would fail to communicate with the department manager this info, causing conflict with employees being told to do it one way and then also getting asked why things were done that way after being trained to do it another way. Basically no communication by your assiant to the department manager causing internal conflict.
